Fiber optic cable is a very thin glass strand through which a pulse of light is transmitted. Nowadays, fiber optic cable is a desirable cable medium due to its immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). It can transport optical signals for significant distances, whether in local area, wide area, or in […]

Single-mode Fiber vs. Multimode Fiber: Which to Choose?
When planning to build a fiber optic network, the first decision you often encounter is single mode fiber or multimode fiber. Hopefully, I can make that decision easier for you by explaining the differences between the two, and why you should choose one over the other. Single-mode Fiber vs. Multimode Fiber To make a better […]
Lower FTTH Cost and Increase Reliability With Tight Buffer Indoor/Outdoor Cable
FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network connects a large number of end users to a central point known as an access node to provide the application and services of high speed. The links between end users and access node are achieved largely by fiber optic cables. Loose buffer cables and tight buffer cables are commonly […]
Drop Cable and Its Termination in FTTH
FTTH (fiber to the home) networks are installed in many areas covering indoor section, outdoor section, as well as the transition in between. To fulfill the cabling requirements from different areas, different types of fiber optic cables are well developed. Drop cable as an important part of FTTH network forms the final external link between […]
Twisted Pair vs Coaxial Cable vs Fiber Optic Cable
The advancements of cable-based technologies have made wider accessibility to greater bandwidth possible. With so many options for computing connectivity, to select a right cable-based solution for broadband connection services is a little confusing. Twisted Pair vs Coaxial Cable vs Fiber Optic Cable: which one would be ideal when taking various factors into consideration, such […]
Plastic Optical Fiber vs. Glass Optical Fiber
In recent years, telecommunications has undergone significant changes. Fiber optics are steadily replacing copper wire as an appropriate means of signal transmission. A variety of optical equipment is attributable to this communication evolution, during which fiber optic cables are leading the way. An optical fiber is a flexible and transparent fiber made by drawing glass […]
